This appendix documents all system error messages, as of software release 8.3, for the router, terminal server, and protocol translator products. These are the error messages which the system software sends to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another system) during operation.
Not all of these messages indicate problems with your system. Some are purely informational, while others may help to diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software.
All messages begin with a percent sign, and are displayed in the following format:
%FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text
FACILITY is a code, consisting of two to five uppercase letters, indicating the facility to which the message refers. A facility may be a hardware device, a protocol, or a module of the system software. Table A-1 lists the codes for all of the system facilities.
SEVERITY is a single-digit code from 0 to 7 which reflects the severity of the condition. The lower the number, the more serious the situation. Table A-2 lists the severity levels.
MNEMONIC is a code, consisting of uppercase letters, that uniquely identifies the message.
Message-text is a text string describing the condition. This portion of the message sometimes contains detailed information about the event being reported, including terminal port numbers, network addresses, or addresses that correspond to locations in the system's memory address space. Because the information in these variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short strings enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). For example, a decimal number is represented as [dec]. A complete list of the kinds of variable fields, and the information contained in them, appears in Table A-3 .
If one or more error messages recur after you take the recommended action, contact Cisco or contact your local field service organization.
Use the following tables to interpret the facility codes that begin each message, the severity level numbers associated with each message, and the variables fields contained in some of the messages.
